[quote=AroundTheBlock]I have a 12 week old baby.  Our daughter ate nonstop for the first two weeks.  While I don't like giving advice to strangers about how to raise their newborn...here's a few things that MY FAMILY figured out.

1. A newborn is new to everything.  This include the world, lights, breathing air, etc.  Remember that.

2. The job of a newborn is to eat, sleep and poop.  That is it.

3. Unless there are weight gaining issues allow the baby to eat and sleep as much as possible.

4. All babies cry and it's fine.  In fact it's the only way babies can exercise.

5. There are only four things to check if a baby is crying.  After those four there is nothing else you can do as a parent. 1) Is the baby hungry? 2) Is the baby gassy? 3) Is the baby trying to sleep? 3) Is the baby uncomfortable - diaper, holding, etc?

Also, there is NOTHING WRONG WITH FEEDING A BABY FORMULA.  If you have questions about how much your baby is eating...please for the love of God see your pediatrician.  In fact the Golden Rule is when you have any question ask your pediatrician.  [b]Do not ask the internet.  [/b][/quote]
